I am glad Xur didn't have the Gjallarhorn, here's why.
Ok, so let's start with the basic logic everybody already understands.
1) Xur sells Gjallarhorn
2) Everybody is happy and buys Gjallarhorn
3) People spend the weekend upgrading Gjallarhorn
4) By Tuesday, everyone has an upgraded Gjallarhorn- at least with Wolfpack Rounds.
Sounds good so far, right?
Well, let's continue.
5) Weekly Heroic/Nightfall- both jokes, people just use Gjallarhorn and slaughter the boss/the adds quickly and painlessly.
6) VoG - groups kill the Templar instantly, groups kill Atheon within 1-2 time's vengeance. So VoG is a joke.
7) Crota's End- Gjallarhorn on shriekers, every group gets hidden chest free (wasn't hard anyways). Gjallarhorn at Deathsinger, wizards dead in 30 seconds, another 30 seconds shriekers are dead, another 30 seconds to a minute and Deathsinger is dead. People use Gjallarhorn to instantly take down Crota's shield, and use Gjallarhorn on adds+oversoul. Crota fight gets even easier.
8) Vanguard Tiger/Roc - More Gjallarhorn spam, more instant killing bosses.
9) Daily Heroics - these were already pretty easy, made even easier with infinite Gjallarhorns.
Clarification: so now Everybody has Gjallarhorn, it's not special any more, everything in the game becomes a joke. Bungie is either forced to nerf Gjallarhorn or make everything in the game 5 times harder. New players would be angry because they missed the opportunity, and many will stop playing/not buy the game. Nobody has any reason to use an exotic other than Gjallarhorn unless its something like the Hawkmoon, Suros, or Mythoclast. Game is unbalanced, and the end result will be Gjallarhorn being ruined for everyone - or some other unhappy result.
[b]Tl;Dr: Game unbalanced, not fun, Gjallarhorn gets nerfed after a week/everything gets crazy health+damage buffs and everyone is sad.[/b]
Well that's my 2 cents on the matter. What are your opinions on the topic?
>inb4 "you just feel special because you have Gjallarhorn": I have opposed the prospect of Xur reselling Gjallarhorn since it first arose several months ago. I only got a Gjallarhorn last week.

It's not so much the fact that I want him to sell it, as I would much rather get it in a drop from actually doing something, as it is that I would just like to be proven that xur is random and he can sell any exotic. Bungie claims that Xur is random, but look at his record. When's the last time he sold G-horn, or even truth, or Suros, or many other guns for that matter. It seems as if lately Bungie has been trying to make the better exotics harder to obtain (as they should be) and leaving us to buy the infamous dragons breath, no land beyond, and other "awful" exotics, over and over again. Whose to say G-horn is or isn't even on Xur's list anymore? Only bungie knows, and the only way to find out is if he sold something we haven't seen in a while. Again, I'm not saying he should or shouldn't sell anything. Everyone's entitled to their own opinions and if you need it I hope you get it from a drop soon and don't even need Xur to sell it and if you have it, that's awesome, I'm happy for you! I just want to know that Xur truly is random and can sell ANY AND ALL weapons. Good luck guardians!
